Hey guys, i just downloaded this game, and i love it. i played the demo for a week first, and i really like the extra features of the full game. it was a bit of a jump going from .18.3 in the demo, to .21. my problem is add-ons. can someone point me towards a thread for "add-ons For Dummies"?

Hello there

Here is where you can find all the addons... http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/forumdisplay.php/35-Add-on-Releases-and-Projects-Showcase (they are also available at www.kerbalspaceprogram.com)

I don't know about any thread that would help you install addons, though it's mostly included with the addon itself... there should be some instructions in the download OR they might be posted with the forum topic related to that specific addon...

However, the general way to install most of addons in .21 is pretty simple... there's a folder "GameData" in your KSP folder, where you have to put the downloaded addon... e.g. you download addon xy... it's a zip file with a folder xy inside the zip... you just have to copy the xy file to you GameData folder, play the game and you should have your addon prepared... should it be installed some other way, there should definetely be some instructions included

Hope this helps at least a bit...
